Hervey Bay Concreting pours concrete paths across Hervey Bay and the Fraser Coast surrounds, roughly 45km out: garden paths, side paths and front footpaths. You choose plain, coloured or exposed aggregate. Every path goes down on a compacted base with steel and control joints, and every job starts with a free quote.
What we pour
Concrete Paths for Every Part of the Yard
Garden and side paths
Side paths to the bins and clothesline, and links between the house, the garden and a new shed slab. A concrete path stays level and even underfoot, so a wheelbarrow or a pram rolls easily and there are no loose pavers to trip on.
Front paths and entries
The path from your driveway or front gate to the door is the first thing visitors walk on. A broom or exposed aggregate finish gives grip on wet days, and clean edges let the path frame the garden. It can match a new concrete driveway in the same finish.
Paths that cross the council verge
A path out to the kerb crosses council land, so it needs approval first. Fraser Coast Regional Council's vehicle crossover fact sheet explains when a permit is needed and what the property owner looks after. Planning a pool surround as well? See exposed aggregate for the most popular non-slip finish.

Thickness
Around 75 to 100mm for garden, side and front paths
Base
Compacted, so the path doesn't sink or crack over soft spots
Steel
Reinforcing mesh on bar chairs, so it sits inside the concrete
Anything a car crosses
Built like a driveway, thicker and reinforced for the load
Falls
A gentle slope away from the house so rain runs off, not against your walls
Control joints
Cut at regular spacing so shrinkage cracks follow a straight line

Frequently asked questions
How thick should a concrete path be?
Most garden and side paths are poured around 75 to 100mm thick on a compacted base, with reinforcing mesh. Anything a car or trailer will cross needs to be built like a driveway instead. Your quote sets the exact spec for your site.
How much does a concrete path cost in Hervey Bay?
It depends on the length and width, access, how much digging and base work the site needs, and the finish you pick. Plain concrete costs the least and exposed aggregate costs more. You get a free, itemised quote before any work starts, so you can compare it fairly.
Is a concrete path better than pavers or gravel?
For low upkeep, usually yes. A concrete path is one solid surface, so there are no joints for weeds or ants and nothing to sink, lift or spread. Pavers give you more patterns, and gravel costs less to start but needs raking and topping up.
Do you pour small paths?
Yes. A single side path, a strip to the clothesline or a small landing at the back door is worth a call. No job is too small to quote.
Do I need council approval for a new path?
A path inside your own property usually doesn't. Work on the council footpath or verge out the front, including a new driveway crossover, needs Fraser Coast Regional Council approval first (or Transport and Main Roads on a state road). Mention it when you ask for a quote.
How soon can I walk on a new concrete path?
Light foot traffic is usually fine after a day or two. Wheelie bins, barrows and anything heavy should wait longer, as concrete keeps gaining strength for about 28 days.
